Siegel measures
The goals of this paper are first to describe and then to apply an
ergodic-theoretic generalization of the Siegel integral formula from the
geometry of numbers. The general formula will be seen to serve both as a guide
and as a tool for questions concerning the distribution, in senses to be made
precise, of the set of closed leaves of measured foliations subordinate to
meromorphic quadratic differentials on closed Riemann surfaces.Comment: 50 pages, published versio
Geodesic laminations revisited
The Bratteli diagram is an infinite graph which reflects the structure of
projections in a C*-algebra. We prove that every strictly ergodic unimodular
Bratteli diagram of rank 2g+m-1 gives rise to a minimal geodesic lamination
with the m-component principal region on a surface of genus g greater or equal
to 1. The proof is based on the Morse theory of the recurrent geodesics on the
hyperbolic surfaces.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, revised versio
Parity of the spin structure defined by a quadratic differential
According to the work of Kontsevich-Zorich, the invariant that classifies
non-hyperelliptic connected components of the moduli spaces of Abelian
differentials with prescribed singularities,is the parity of the spin
structure.
We show that for the moduli space of quadratic differentials, the spin
structure is constant on every stratum where it is defined. In particular this
disproves the conjecture that it classifies the non-hyperelliptic connected
components of the strata of quadratic differentials with prescribed
singularities. An explicit formula for the parity of the spin structure is
given.Comment: Published by Geometry and Topology at

Considering Colonoware from the Barnes Plantation: A Proposed Colonoware Typology for Northern Virginia Colonial Sites
Colonoware vessels and vessel fragments have been recovered from numerous colonial and antebellum sites in Virginia, and the number of newly reported sites increases with each excavation season. What this growing corpus of Virginia colonoware presently requires, however, is an adequate, standardized typology for pottery classification, at both site-specific and regional scales. Here, the colonoware typology designed during analysis of collections from the Barnes Plantation (44FX1326), a mid-18th century tobacco plantation in Fairfax County, Virginia, is explained and offered for use elsewhere. Colonware sherds from contemporaneous northern Virginia plantation sites exhibit many of the same charcteristics as those found at the Barnes site, and thus the typology holds promise for region-wide use
On embedding of the Bratteli diagram into a surface
We study C*-algebras O_{\lambda} which arise in dynamics of the interval
exchange transformations and measured foliations on compact surfaces. Using
Koebe-Morse coding of geodesic lines, we establish a bijection between Bratteli
diagrams of such algebras and measured foliations. This approach allows us to
apply K-theory of operator algebras to prove strict ergodicity criterion and
Keane's conjecture for the interval exchange transformations.Comment: final versio
Triangulations and volume form on moduli spaces of flat surfaces
In this paper, we are interested in flat metric structures with conical
singularities on surfaces which are obtained by deforming translation surface
structures. The moduli space of such flat metric structures can be viewed as
some deformation of the moduli space of translation surfaces. Using geodesic
triangulations, we define a volume form on this moduli space, and show that, in
the well-known cases, this volume form agrees with usual ones, up to a
multiplicative constant.Comment: 42 page
Connecting geodesics and security of configurations in compact locally symmetric spaces
A pair of points in a riemannian manifold makes a secure configuration if the
totality of geodesics connecting them can be blocked by a finite set. The
manifold is secure if every configuration is secure. We investigate the
security of compact, locally symmetric spaces.Comment: 27 pages, 2 figure
Foliations on modular curves
It is proved, that a foliation on a modular curve given by the vertical
trajectories of holomorphic differential corresponding to the Hecke eigenform
is either the Strebel foliation or the pseudo-Anosov foliation.Comment: to appear Bulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, New Serie
